The 24-year-old played the 13-a-side code is his junior days and, while he is likely to remain a Wallaby until at least the 2015 World Cup, he conceded the chance to test himself in the NRL was appealing.

"It's always lingering in the back of my mind," Melbourne Rebels star Beale said, after completing a cross-code training session with NRL side the Storm.

"I'm a massive fan of rugby league and I played it all my junior career.

"I'm always switching channels to watch it on the weekend.

"Hopefully later on, in the years to come, I will be able to put my hand up and have a crack at it."
